Robert
Lee "Bob" Zemeckis (born May 14, 1952) is an Academy Award- and Golden
Globe-winning American film director, producer and screenwriter.
The director was jobless until Michael Douglas hired him in 1984 to
film Romancing the Stone. A romantic adventure starring Douglas and
Kathleen Turner, Romancing was expected to flop, but the film became a
sleeper hit.
Zemeckis has said that, for a long time, he sacrificed his personal
life in favor of a career. "I won an Academy Award when I was 44 years
old," he explained, "but I paid for it with my 20s. That decade of my
life from film school till 30 was nothing but work, nothing but
absolute, driving work. I had no money. I had no life.
